Love Is Blind season 8 meets Dog Day Out... and we're ready to say, "I do!"

Thanks to VCA Charities' amazing partners at Minneapolis Animal Care & Control, in collaboration with their Dog Day Out initiative, we are grateful for the success of the Fido Field Trip Program! Back in the Spring, the shelter dogs got their own “Love is Blind” adventure when the fabulous ladies of Season 8 joined the fun, taking some shelter pups out for unforgettable field trips filled with smiles.

Did you know that research shows that dogs who experience a single day outside the shelter are 10x more likely to be adopted?! These outings give shelter dogs a break from the kennel, which reduces stress while increasing community volunteerism.

Want to learn more about our Dog Day Out program or take a dog on a field trip with a local shelter? Visit !

🔍 Where would your pet go if they got lost?
June is National Microchip Month, and it's the perfect time to make sure your furry friend has the best chance of finding their way back home! 🏡❤️

🐾 Microchips are tiny, but they can make a HUGE difference. Unlike collars or tags, they can’t slip off or get lost—and they hold your contact info for a lifetime (as long as it’s kept updated!).

🐶 did you know Microchips are covered with your CareClub plan?

📌 Fun fact: Pets with microchips are over twice as likely to be reunited with their families!

💬 Already chipped? Take 2 minutes to check your info.
🚫 Not chipped yet? We can help—it's quick, easy, and could be life-saving.

Let’s keep tails wagging and families together! 🐶🐱

Have you had the pleasure of coming in and seeing Dr Caughey? She is our AWESOME Medical Director. She will be the one you making it a great day at Westbury. Is it a Holiday? She will be dressed to impress. Be sure to come in and meet her.

Dr. Heather Caughey joined VCA Westbury in early 2021. She grew up in the Northeast, and graduated from a small engineering school, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, with a Bachelor's of Science in Biotechnology and Chemistry. After some time in medical device and pharmaceutical research, she made the leap to Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine to pursue her DVM, and completed her clinical training at Purdue University of Veterinary Medicine.

After getting a taste for tropical weather living in St. Kitts, she and her family decided to move south when their blood thinned too much for New England winters. Dr. Caughey has a strong interest in surgery and providing stress-free veterinary care. She also enjoys seeing a broad range of species in practice, just no birds!

When outside the office, Dr. Caughey is in full-fledged "soccer mom" mode with her son Ryan and her husband who is also a Veterinarian. She enjoys all sports (particularly soccer and American football) and loves to travel anywhere she can scuba dive. She's also "mom" to her loving crazy dog, Brisket.
